Sometimes, at Mexican Restaurants, I choose a Margarita, perhaps a specialty of the house. This shot was at a new place a few blocks from our condo called Comedor. It was very hip indeed. I usually get Margaritas up and Manhattans on the rocks. Bartenders lean the other way. Vive la différence. That's FFP's Rosé in the background. That's his standard cocktail.

I discovered this figure in a little park on Springdale Road. There were many sculptures, maybe placed by a gallery across the street which seemed to have similar wares. This is called 'Bent Figure' and is by Magdelena Jarkowiec.

From our balcony you see a crane between us and the iconic Frost Bank Tower. There is also one on the right side of the picture between the state office building and the building at Third and Colorado. These will alter our view once. again

It's easy to forget standing amidst the downtown skyscrapers that trains used to run along the south side of Third Street. But next to the pedestrian bridge across Shoal Creek where Third deadends there is an old railway bridge. Vines and weeds are trying to take it over. (There is still a train track that crossed Lady Bird Lake and circles around to the west to travel up the middle of Mopac eventually.)

In addition to the Proper Hotel and condos at left, the Northshore visible behind the equipment and 500 West Second (aka the Google building) which is north of the Northshore, there will be a fourth building on the site of old Green Water Treatment plant. I shot a picture of the drilling equipment being used from the trail beside the Central Library on the other side of the creek.

The Independent Condos which will open soon, reflecting the blue skies and clouds recently. Because of its unusual stacking and jutting floors, it is called the Jenga Building. It is right across Shoal Creek from our building. It is the first of the month and so it is theme day. The theme is 'blue.' Click here to see what other people have selected for the theme day.
